"Funnel of Gold," Peterson, 1976. A brilliant and readable history, reprinting many actual contemporary accounts of the Spanish Gold Trade in the 16th to 18th centuries. It can be found on Amazon, probably, for copper-coated zinc pennies on the inflationary paper dollar. As a page turner, I could not put it down for it makes the Wild West look like a children's petting zoo. Excellent video, enjoyed the wry humor, and a superb summation of three hundred years of history in ten minutes.
